well knows is valid
...also in Australia is valid the well known (saying) that appearances are deceptive
Zdání klame can be translated several ways:
all that glistens is not gold
appearances are deceptive
many a fine dish has nothing on it
Feel free to correct English, but this is the meaning.

Where I am we say deceiving. Maybe it's because 'deceptive' sounds more as a potential, whereas 'deceiving' sounds more like actual action. :-)
